Chapter 131: Rare Pride
Du Lan hurriedly ran out of the room, went to Aunt Zhang's side and wiped a few hands on the apron casually, saw the fresh peanuts with soil falling on the ground, and smiled happily: "Aunt Zhang, why did you send me something again." Hurry up in the house please. ”
"What's polite, Aunt Zhang followed you to eat and drink, I said kind words." Aunt Zhang joked as she followed Duran into the house.
"Aunt Zhang brought me all the soybean sauce at home, and I didn't have time to thank it." As he spoke, Duran turned his head and shouted to the gang: "You'an, you look at the fire, if the pot is boiling, don't add firewood, and boil it over low heat." ”
"Okay, got it." Gu Youan replied.
Du Lan led Aunt Zhang into the room, "Auntie sit down, I'll pour you a cup of tea." ”
"No hassle." Aunt Zhang said politely.
Duran still poured the tea and handed it to Aunt Zhang, "Auntie, I really have something to ask for." ”
Aunt Zhang's eyes widened in surprise, and she said incredulously: "You still beg me?" What's the matter? ”
Duran smiled, "Aren't I going to brew soy sauce, I thought about it, if I brew soy sauce from soybeans now, I will need to wait a year and a half." My Shilixiang shop is open for business, and some dishes do require soy sauce. That's why I want to boil some of the soybean paste first, and use it first. But where can I find so much soybean sauce, after thinking about it, I still have to ask Aunt Zhang to help me find some soybean sauce at other people's houses. ”
Zhao glanced at Du Lan: "You kid, how can you bother Aunt Zhang to run errands for you." ”
Aunt Zhang smiled politely: "What a big deal, almost every household in our area brews their own soybean paste, not to mention our Shanwa Village, even the nearby villages have it, if you want more, Auntie will give you to run to other villages." ”
Du Lan really had this idea, so he nodded happily: "Then it will bother the eldest mother, and when the time comes, I will say that I will buy soybean paste, and I will give the eldest lady ten catties of errands." ”
Aunt Zhang didn't agree to anything when she heard this, but Duran had made up her mind, and Aunt Zhang had to compromise in the end.
Du Lan, Zhao Clan, and Aunt Zhang chatted for a while, and Gu Youan ran in happily with a big bowl, "Lady, look, the soy sauce is ready." ”
A strong smell of sauce instantly filled the whole room, Zhao's and Aunt Zhang hurriedly stood up curiously to look, looked into the bowl, and then smelled it carefully, and a smell of sauce went straight to the nostrils: "This is soy sauce?" We see that this is indeed much clearer than soybean paste, and the color is a little darker, how is this done? The taste is clearer than that of soybean paste, which is amazing. ”
Duran picked up the small spoon in the bowl and tasted it, smacked his mouth a few times, nodded and explained: "Speaking of which, this method is not too complicated, but the ingredients are indeed much more complicated. First of all, it is necessary to prepare soybean soy sauce, brown sugar, rock sugar, water, chives knotted, ginger slices, star anise, cumin, bay leaves, sannai, cinnamon, grass fruit, cardamom, Sichuan pepper, tangerine peel, and then heat the oil in the pot, add green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add seasoning, then add cooking wine and boiling water to cook, turn to low heat and boil until two-thirds of the soup is turned off, and it can be used after cooling. ”
After Du Lan finished speaking, he looked at Zhao and Aunt Zhang with a smile, only to see the two of them staring at each other, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.
Aunt Zhang admired: "Duran, you have made my aunt dizzy, no wonder you dare to tell us your secret recipe, you are like talking about the book of heaven, I didn't understand it at all." Not to mention, I bet even some of the old cooks don't understand. ”
After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she looked at Zhao again and asked, "Big sister, did you say it?" ”
The expression on Zhao's face was much more shocked than that of Aunt Zhang, although Duran was not born to her, but she brought it up single-handedly, she could only believe what Duran said to Du Mi now, saying that she was learned by soul wandering in the world when the three souls and six souls were incomplete.
"Mother, Aunt Zhang, I won't hide it from you, even if someone steals from me, I can't steal it. There are a lot of spices in it, I just temporarily replace them with some spices, and when I have time one day, I will go up the mountain with You'an to find out if I can find some uncommon spices according to the records in the food book. ”
Speaking of which, Duran had to thank Xue Yan, he had great powers, and he actually got a manuscript of food for remembering from the palace kitchen, not only the handwriting on the book was cleaned, but even the illustrations were drawn vividly, she could almost make out from the pictures, some spices were just different from the names of the previous life.
Zhao said proudly: "Lan Lan is really capable, he can even develop his own soy sauce, I have to taste it." ”
The Zhao family was rarely proud, and felt that his daughter had great ability, and she might not be worse than Gu Chunyan in the future.
Du Lan glanced at Zhao, and was very happy in his heart, Zhao is a forbearant and low-key woman, and she looks quite enjoyable with her spirit.
Aunt Zhang noticed it and echoed with a smile: "That's it, I think Du Lan can make a lot of money this time, the eldest sister will be waiting to enjoy happiness in the future, maybe the good son can also be polished and marry a daughter." ”
Zhao smiled embarrassedly: "Seeing the smile, I was happy for a while, but I got a little carried away." It is okay for our good son to marry any kind of daughter-in-law, as long as he likes it. ”
Zhao is telling the truth, she is such a son, because she brought a Duran into the house, her mother-in-law was unhappy, and she will be a dwarf in front of her mother-in-law for the rest of her life. So she understands the difficulties of being a daughter-in-law, and she will never be a bad mother-in-law and deliberately make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.
A few people spoke freely, leaving Gu Youan, a big man, aside, he felt embarrassed, and he couldn't interject, so he came out with a reason.
As soon as he walked on the front foot, Aunt Zhang also felt disturbed, so she also said goodbye and went home.
In the afternoon, Xue Yan and Chen Jingting came.
Du Lan and Gu Youan were churning soybeans in the yard, they watched Du Lan and Gu Youan work hotly, snatched the sticks in their hands, and began to take the initiative to help.
Du Lan stood aside and wiped the sweat on his cheeks with a cotton handkerchief, looked at Chen Jingting's strength and savagery, and immediately quipped: "Brother Chen, have you not eaten enough of this wedding wine or have you not eaten well?" The next time I see Brother Xu, I'll seek justice for you. is also the richest man, and the wine is not authentic. ”
Chen Jingting drank some wine in Xu Mansion, but he was not drunk, and when he heard Du Lan joking, his mood suddenly became much brighter, and he was full of energy: "You have wronged Brother Hening, I am greedy for a cup, who made all the wine in Xu Mansion a first-class daughter red." This is not very common in your Shilixiang restaurant. ”
"Yes, the wine of Xufu is a well-known good wine, if I change it to you, I will be drunk." Duran covered his mouth with a snicker, and clearly saw that Chen Jingting was not in pain in his heart, and he was still lying to her.
Chen Jingting was stunned, Duran saw it? Just said that in his heart, if it weren't for Xue Yan watching, he would have to get drunk today.
Gu Youan also saw that something was wrong, flicked his finger on Du Lan's head, and reminded: "Don't encourage him anymore, maybe he will really get drunk at our house tonight." ”
Duran rubbed his head painfully, and his sharp eyes swept over, "Okay, you're long-lasting, aren't you?" How dare you beat the old lady? Do you want to lay the floor tonight or what? ”
Gu Youan froze suddenly, and glanced at the two brothers awkwardly, looking pitiful and aggrieved, "No, lady, the raw rice hasn't been cooked yet, you won't even give me the chance to go to the kang, how can I live." ”
Duran Gu Youan no longer treats Xue Yan and Chen Jingting as outsiders, especially after Gu Youan knows that the two of them have been following him and are about his life experience, he doesn't care about his image in front of them.
Xue Yan shook his head helplessly and looked away in disappointment, Chen Jingting also looked embarrassed, covering his face with his hands and not looking at him.
Duran glared triumphantly, "How do you live, aren't you as good as possible after being married for so long?" ”
"That's thanks to Brother Xue's medical skills." Gu Youan explained cheekily.
Xue Yan glanced at him: "Yes, I can repay my medicinal skills." ”
"Pharmacy?" Duran glanced at Xue Yan suspiciously, he had something to say.
Gu Youan hurriedly took a small step back, and said with a sneer: "I'd better go to the room to make a fire, didn't the lady say that she still needs to cook a pot?" ”
Du Lan ignored him and stared at Xue Yan in a blink of an eye: "Brother Xue, can you explain?" Everyone is a smart person, and no one should hide it from anyone. ”
Gu Youan had just taken two steps, and when he heard this, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he turned around and winked at Xue Yan: "The medicine that Brother Xue said refers to giving me medicine to regulate my body, don't misunderstand, lady." ”
Du Lan sneered and hooked her lips, she now finally realized that explaining was equivalent to covering up the essence of this sentence, "Okay, you can sleep with Brother Xue tonight." ”
